Research Interests
Dr. Burnham teaches Statistics, Sensation and Perception, Cognitive Psychology, and Research Methods. His Human Attention Lab (HAL) examines factors that govern the control of attention, executive attention, working memory, object attention, and the neuroscience of attention. Representative research:
